The National Identity Management Commission (NIMC), in collaboration with the Ministry of Youth Development and the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), has initiated an intensive training program for selected Youth Corps members.
This initiative aims to equip them with the skills and knowledge needed to spearhead the National Identification Number (NIN) enrollment campaign across all wards throughout the Federation.
By leveraging the energy and reach of the youth, the program seeks to ensure comprehensive NIN registration, fostering greater national identity inclusion and security.
This initiative, a press release signed by Kayode Adegoke (PhD), Head, Corporate Communications of NIMC, is part of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda of enrolling and issuing the NIN to all Nigerians and legal residents within the shortest time possible.
NIMC, the press release notes, has enrolled and issued the NIN to over 120M Nigerians and legal residents and, therefore, intends to cover hitherto unreachable areas through the Ward Enrollment initiative. The Corps members selected are currently undergoing intensive training in preparation for the kick-off of the ward enrollment.
Consequently, Nigerians, most especially children below the age of 16 years are by this initiative encouraged to enrol for the NIN in their respective wards, the press statement stated, adding that the initiative aims to take NIN enrollment closer to the people
The NIMC DG/CEO, Engr (Dr) Abisoye Coker-Odusote, lauded the immeasurable support of President Tinubu towards the achievements of the NIMC mandate. She also appreciated the commendable efforts of the Honourable Minister of Youth Development, Mr Ayodele Olawande, and the DG, NYSC, Brigade-General, Olakunle Oluseye Nafiu.
